Hey real quick bro, thanks again for this gem but the version 2.5 is not working and I noticed other producers have the 2.6 version. Could you send me that version.

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

@@VsmooveBeats Hey family! Saw the request. I only know about Version 2.5. They dont have a 2.6 yet to my knowledge and even on the website its only 2.5. Let me know what the problem is that you are having and we can solve it together! No worries! What DAW are you using? And are you using MAC or PC?

[@swanebrokendeep]

[@MrRickTroutman]

Good info on ripcord I play simple chords on my DAW this will help me design more complex chord patterns.

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

We were in the same boat! Before I got this it was really simple chords I would make which was ok but I wanted more complex chords with a better way of doing it without theory. This knocked it right out the park for me. Thanks alot fam. Hope to see some results for you!

[@MusicianParadise]

Thank you very much for the credits, great channel btw!

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

Thanks so much family! Greatly appreciate that alot! The Chord Progressions Vol 1-8 is a blessing to the community. I am actually appart fo the Render Audio squad and excited to see your works. I hope I can share this and spread it to as many people as possible. You have done great work! I also did a vid on Drum Monkey that gave credit to Ave and Tantacrul they hit on some key elements that I agree on totally. And with your contibution to the producers community, it makes it even better. So thank you!

[@russelledwards2405]

Good walkthrough. Although I have scaler, I have been enjoying using this.

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

Yeah. I honestly knew that A. Some have Scaler 2 (which you can also use Prisms 3 with) B. Alot of DAWs doing the chord function but not to play (lush) chords with fifths, etc. I wanted to make this for the beginners who can't purchase Scaler just yet but still want to create music without knowing theory. I like them on both! They are really good either way. Thanks for coming through and dropping a line as well fam. Greatly appreciate that! Blessings! 💯

Have you tried Prisms 3 yet with Scaler 2?! It's awesome!

[@PulseCodeMusic]

Pretty sweet tool. I'm using it for a really niche purpose though... I'm creating an ear training preset containing all the chords relating to one key including triads, 7s, 9s, modal interchange 7th chords and few chords from harmonic minor. so I can randomise the input and test my self on my ability to recognise chord progressions. Don't know if anyone is likely to want such a thing but if anyone is curious I can link my preset.

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

That awesome. The great thing is that you can do awesome chord progressions in Cubase and it has the circle of fifths and all that to help in those areas. But yes, it can do that and then some. As far as randomizing there are things you can do in the tool bar in the top to change those midi to random. It's a great thing.

[@PulseCodeMusic]

@@PULSEMusicGroup Yeah I use Ableton and its got loads of midi processing tools. I've got it outputting one of 36 different chords/voicings (+ occasional randomly changing the octave up one or down one) every beat. I then record the output so I can identify it by ear and then check my answer.

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

@@PulseCodeMusic WOW! Didn't know Ableton did that. That's is pretty dope. If I didnt use Cubase I would have probably started on Abelton. That's would have been my next go to.

[@shadowgod-tunes]

I downloaded this vst weeks ago, went through the installation process, added ripchord into my vst folder and into my DAW, but I still can't access ripchord anywhere in my DAW (which is Studio One 5 Professional). It doesn't even show up in my instrument list or my effects list. Why is this happening?? Can you help?

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

Thanks for coming through and checking out the video family! So as far as the setup in Studio One under instruments you should have a folder called Trackbout. You first drag over any instrument that you want and then drag over ripchord (from the folder) underneath the instrument you selected. Connect to your midi input in the instrument and select ripchord.

[@dansmith3463]

Is there anything better about this than the chord track and chord pads in Cubase? I'm looking at trialing Reaper from Cubase so I'm looking for something to replace the chord track in Cubase. Would this be a good replacement?

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

I would have to say yes because in Cubase they give you to me the standard and basic chords and Ripchord give you lush chords that sound more human and that for me would be the reason! Greatly appreciate you coming through and checking out the vid and the channel! Blessings!

[@shadowgod-tunes]

Having trouble finding it in my DAW. HELP?

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

This is a VST3 so make sure (if its Windows) that its under your VST3 folder and then you have to install that in your DAW. Refresh your DAW so that it shows your VST3 folder and follow the instruction provided in the previous answer and you should be good to go.

[@shadowgod-tunes]

@@PULSEMusicGroup Thanks for responding so quickly. I don't see a VST 3 folder in my Program Files, but I did notice that there isn't a application file in the ripchord folder. Why is that? Is that why I can't see it and also why it isn't running? It's weeks. Still nothing.

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

@@shadowgod-tunes Your VST3 folder (On Windows) installs under program files, Common Files, then there should be a VST3 folder right there. Then you load that into your DAW (scan it) and it suppose to come up that way. If you have a MAC OS then it should be under your Macintosh HD and VST3 folder and follow the same steps.

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

@@shadowgod-tunes Not a problem......I understand when you need info and trying to get something to work! Hopefully those steps helps. Also make sure that you downloaded it properly as well. Might need to do that again just in case. Blessings! 💯

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

Whats good family!? Did you get my info? Just checking in........

[@Thisninjascared]

Curious as to why not just use the chord assistant that comes in cubase?

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

Funny you should ask that family...... As much as I love Cubase Chord Generator and the ability to do alot of things, it only does simple chords and if I have an idea that needs a complex progression or multiple chords more than just the standard three notes, then RipChord is it. Prisms not only gives you a theme of chord progressions bit it shows you the notes and in theory on RipChord. For beginners it is perfect. But for the record I do use both it all depends on what I'm doing at the time. Great question! Appreciate you check out the video. Blessings! 💯

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

PS .....I suck when it comes to playing piano and RipChord help to teach me not just note names but also how to play them with the keyboard at the bottom. Another useful feature for me......

[@Thisninjascared]

@@PULSEMusicGroup hey yes of course..love the content..im also a cubase user as well so I was just curious but I understand completely where you coming from

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

@@Thisninjascared Yeah I have been a Cubase user for at least 10 years now and I wouldn't trade it for the world! Not at all. I just found a way that I like to make the chord progressions not be just three chords without building on that. I still like the generic one they provide but I love having lush chords especially for like r&b or neo soul. Appreciate you again family! Blessings! 💯

[@Gdad-20]

There are midi file pks for free, which is so much easier to drag n drop them in your project, than all these bull shit vst's and if you really want to progress your production skills, study the midi files, change them up and enjoy them. Why load up your computers memory with plugins, when you don't have to?

[@PULSEMusicGroup]

I guess everyone has there way of workflow. But you can't dog out those that like to use the idea of use one finger to play chords as opposed to dragging over chords that you can't do in sequence. You have to drag chords that some would never understand. But I understand if you are more comfortable with dragging and dropping. Thank you for coming through and commenting. Appreciate that family. 💯
